If this were a movie, the title might be "Away From the Manger II."

A baby Jesus Christmas decoration was stolen from a home in the 500 block of South Forest Avenue, according to a Batavia police report filed at 8:45 p.m. Dec. 22. The value of the baby Jesus decoration was in the category of theft under $500.
